Workshops for Individuals

At Elevate, we believe in Getting Better at Everything, All the Time. We provide webinars to the public, created and led by our team of grant writing experts, to support nonprofit professionals in building their fundraising toolbox.

Two learning collections are offered to provide hyper-practical experiences for folks with different learning goals.

Learning Collection 1: How to Prepare Expert Grant Applications

Are you tasked with writing your first grant, or are you looking for strategies to boost your chances of securing grant funds? The sessions in this collection will help you develop high-quality, well-researched, and winning grant applications no matter where you are in your grant writing journey!

The first training in this series, How to Write Your First Grant, teaches you about the in-depth planning and strategy needed to develop successful proposals, as well as how to answer the most common grant application questions. Plus, it’s free!

Each subsequent training builds on this foundational training to offer you advanced skills and resources to strengthen key aspects of your applications–financials, empowering language, and outcomes!
